Thanks to our blog's guru, herself a visual artist and inveterate blogger, we've been putting out image rich blog posts since the get go. Not surprising if you consider that we work in an <i>art</i> library, but that shouldn't be the deciding factor for including images. You are right to be wary of adding images for image's sake alone. But feel free to push back when your 'reviewer' calls you on a design issue. If you want to build traffic to your site making images a part of the post add that little je-ne-sais-quoi.

I needed something to break out of that and add a little random element to the presentation. I'm glad to see it getting such a positive reaction from people. Thanks!
